Could I go on a huge rant about 23andMes<\/span> mess up and how it was discovered by a customer rather than LabCorp<\/span> or 23andMe<\/span>?<\/span><\/p>

Yes. Would it be useful?<\/span><\/p>

No.<\/p>

Why?<\/span><\/p>

I need to save my rants, and any doctor will tell you, labs screw up all the time.
It is something we are used to thinking.<\/p>

So much so, that a knee jerk answer for a lot of doctors is to repeat a test if the results are so far out there.......<\/p>

So, my rant today will be directly placed at the rocket scientists who dreamed up <\/span>CelluliteDX<\/span><\/a><\/p>

\"The CelluliteDX<\/span> Genetic Test is only available for sale through participating physicians' offices. If you would like to learn more about the CelluliteDX<\/span> Genetic Test and receive a Welcome Package to establish your office as a CelluliteDX<\/span> Genetic Test provider, please contact us Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time or e-mail anytime\"<\/span><\/p>

Ok<\/span>, this is the problem that the DTCG<\/span> community has and I do too.<\/span><\/p>

Doctors may be using crappy tests as a marketing ploy to drive patients through the door. Well, some DTCG<\/span> does market crappy tests to drive customers through their portal too. But this one takes the freaking cake.....today<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

This test which BTW is the ACE genetic variant testing has a full page called \"Science\"<\/a> where you can read about this brain trust.<\/span><\/p>

200 patients, 200 controls, the offering......<\/p>

\"A physician using the CelluliteDX<\/span> Genetic Test for Moderate to Severe Cellulite, can predict that a patient who tests positive has approximately a 70% chance of developing Nurnberger<\/span>-Muller grade 2 (or greater) cellulite.\"<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The science: Is there a paper on this? Seriously? <\/span>A gene for cottage cheese butt?<\/a> Awesome! You've gotta love Italians and there passion for the A$$<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

\"the multivariable<\/span>-adjusted odds ratios for cellulite were 1.19 (95% CI: 1.10-1.51; P 1.19 huh?<\/span><\/p>

How is that 70% increased risk? Would love to see that please. No, seriously, tell me how. This is why Congress jumped. What Doctor in their right mind would offer this test? <\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The Sherpa Says: This is why we need education of physicians and the public here. Hullo? FDA, maybe they should get a letter too? <\/p>
